What’s In Your Child’s Lunchbox? by Ms. Joleen

First Lady Michelle Obama has been in the news lately for trying (much to my high-schooler’s chagrin!) to improve the nutritional quality of school lunches in her quest to reduce childhood obesity in the U.S. That initiative, coupled with a recent report about the many health risks of sugar consumption, may have us parents rethinking what we feed our kids. FPL’S Children’s Collection can help you make some informed decisions with our many books on the topic of healthy eating.

So let’s substitute water for sugary drinks, fresh fruit for cookies, and oh, don’t forget good nutrition’s equally important partner: EXERCISE! Check out our current display of fitness books and DVDs near the Children’s Reference Desk.
